Am I the only one who can't get this to work? I followed the instructions, but "Profile Type" does not appear in my settings. (Yes, I put the browser into my Application folder first & restarted everything)

Did you also update iTerm2 after putting the browser add-on in your Application folder? https://iterm2.com/downloads.html You can uninstall it and re-install the latest version from here to be double sure

Ah , thank you! Uninstalling , update and re-installing fixed it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

it would generally be for environments where the browser is locked down as well, or has a special extension installed for "security". In a lot of those cases the shell is recorded and send to a central tool, but the webview would not be logged

> the shell is recorded and send to a central tool Challenge accepted. And it's not a huge challenge. I'd say not even a mild one.

What challenge?

More than this feature I'm super happy to have RTL text support. There are still a few little rough edges but I haven't found anything else on MacOS that can handle it and finally I can use NeoVim with RTL/bidi support! George is fantastic and his passion shines through this project.

If you're a Mac user and not using iTerm2 then run don't walk to download it.

It's one of the first things I install on a new mac. Along with Firefox. So the browser is a bit redundant for me. I actually only use a fraction of the features but the ones I do use seem to be lacking in the few linux terminals I've used. Things I like: - easy to switch between tabs (command + arrow), use this all the time - easy to copy paste (command+c, command+v, same as in the rest of the OS). - easy to scroll…

The only one of the things on your list that Terminal.app doesn't do is the split tabs, although tab switching there is using the more traditional cmd+shift+[]

Would be nice if the browser tabs had a terminal pane inside. Usually I'm reading something in the browser that I want to immediately run via the terminal.

You can have that. Cmd-Opt-Shift-V or H to split with a different profile, or use the move/swap options in the context menu to put any panes in the same tab after creation.

Amazing terminal, it has served me so well over the years. I wouldn’t consider anything else. If you lean in to the advanced features, there’s nothing to touch it. Can’t believe it’s free, but I am very grateful for the fact. Thanks, George!

Can you enlighten me with some advanced features that you use? I would love to start using them. I have always used iTerm, but never really used advanced stuff.

> This feature exists because: - Many iTerm2 features translate well to web browsing - It provides a unified terminal and browser experience - A former colleague suggested this idea in 2014 and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. - I am maybe having a midlife crisis and this is cheaper than a sports car. I can't put my finger on why, but this might be the most refreshing thing I've seen in a README in year…

As much as I despise the feature (security), I absolutely respect the motivation to do it. I think this is why its so refreshing - one of those itches being scratched which, sure - why not? - but then again, omfg, just no.
